I made a TypeKit hack. Should I release it or not?
over 7 years ago from Jacob Kelley, Senior Software Engineer at Dollar Shave Club
I wrote this script that allows you retrieve all of the CSS with data URI's from any font specified from TypeKit. I want to open source it on GitHub, but I am uncertain of the repercussions of doing so.
The CSS produced is recompiled with the necessary attributes, and since everything is within a data URI, I believe the CSS is untraceable to that of TypeKit's.
The methods used to retrieve this data are obviously specific so I do consider it a hack, though the exact same methods are also used by your browser to load CSS and font faces.
Thoughts?
